Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 407 This is the real water bird dance!

Millicent also felt the murderous intent directed at her the moment Elronmayer made his move.

She stuck her head out from behind the statue, and the terrifying sword edge seemed like a thorn in her back.

I saw the executioner's sword blazing with energy like a rainbow, making a whistling sound as it broke through the air.

As the spiral danced, the force released was so strong that even the wooden structure of the bridge was shaken by the aftermath, and finally exploded bit by bit.

Regardless of whether they were broken or not, the statues blocking the road fell one after another along the broken road, completely blocking the way ahead.

Watching the executioner sword approaching quickly, destroying everything along the way like a whirlwind, Millicent asked herself a question in this fleeting moment:
Should I run away or take a gamble?
Looking at the neatly arranged prosthetic hands in the room behind the bridge, Millicent made a quick decision.

Dry!
Now that the other party has discovered her existence, it will be difficult to act according to the original plan.

Now she had to consider how to seize this only remaining opportunity.

Millicent leaped up from behind the statue, breaking through the wooden ceiling in an instant and landing on the top of the covered bridge.

The executioner's sword passed by her feet, shattering the statue where she had just hidden into tiny pieces of stone.

Millicent didn't stop, and ran quickly along the only remaining broken building structure in front of her.

Aaron Meier was not discouraged when his attack missed. After using the "Qi Observation", he knew the approximate strength of Millicent. She was not an opponent that could be defeated so easily.

Listening to Millicent's rapidly approaching steps, Elronmayer remained silent and continued to perform the Ohr Sword Dance.

This time, the executioner sword no longer spiraled, but instead quickly changed direction like a tail and flew back towards him.

However, this does not mean that he will give up the attack.

Elonmeier's eyes were fixed on Millicent's aura, and he could clearly grasp the object through the roof.

He raised his hand, and the executioner's sword struck Millicent again from below.

Millicent was running wildly on the shattered bridge. When she was about to reach the roof of the city lord's room, she suddenly felt a sense of danger.

Millicent acted decisively and turned around to dissipate the force, instantly breaking through the roof and stopping her mad rush.

As expected, the executioner sword wrapped in red light pierced Millicent's body and almost pierced her through.

The executioner's sword locked onto Millicent, slashing and dancing, occasionally thrusting at high speed, like a beast on a never-ending hunt.

Even for a fighter as nimble and agile as Millicent, it would be extremely unwise to compete in straight-line speed between her body and flying sword. She could only keep changing direction and looking for opportunities.

Millicent barely managed to avoid the attack on the broken rooftop where there was almost no foothold, but now she was only a few steps away from the city lord's hall.

Calculating the distance, Millicent took the opportunity to dodge again and jumped down from the side. She hooked the ceiling with her left hand and swung herself into the city lord's hall.

The moment she landed and faced Elronmel, Millicent took out a "greeting gift" from her waist bag.

Seeing the unknown props flying in front of him, Elonmel immediately raised his giant shield and smashed the pots.

However, the imagined explosion did not come, and purple smoke emerged from the pot.

Three hypnotic pots emitted a large amount of purple mist, which completely filled the entire room, and Elonmel was instantly submerged in the mist.

Millicent felt a little relieved when she saw that the hypnotic pot had completely submerged Elronmel.

With such a large dose, even the giant creatures of Gaileyd would fall into a deep sleep.

Ignoring Elronmayer, Millicent simply moved toward the back wall of the room.

The purpose of her trip was the prosthetic hand, which was more important than anything else.

However, at this moment, the execution sword shot out from behind again.

Millicent dodged subconsciously, but was still scratched.

The sword blade opened a long wound under the left rib, and the exposed white skin was soon blurred by blood.

Millicent looked behind her in disbelief.

A thick arm armor wrapped in iron thorns pushed away the purple mist, and Ailonmeier slowly stepped out with heavy steps.

I saw bright red flames emanating from Ailonmeier's body, and the purple mist was blocked outside, making it difficult to approach.

Elonmeier looked at Millicent with annoyance, which aroused his murderous intent even more.

The hypnotic pot just now did not have no effect on him, and some of it had penetrated into his body.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough. When he was about to pass out, he used air to wake himself up and expel the gas from his body, and then he came to consciousness.

Elronmel raised the Ironthorn Shield and held it in front of him, then he rushed forward and pushed the shield towards Millicent.

Millicent quickly dodged to the side, barely avoiding the direct attack.

Under the impact of the Ironthorn Shield, the bookshelves, tables, chairs, and even a large number of prosthetic limbs in the collection were smashed to pieces.

However, just as Millicent was preparing to maneuver around and look for an opportunity, a situation suddenly occurred that she could not understand.

There was bright red energy wrapped around Elonmeier's arm, and he stretched out his hand towards Millicent.

There was still a distance of more than two or three meters between the two of them, but Millicent was restrained all over and could hardly move.

A lethal move from Oher, a combat technique that only experts who are proficient in Chi can use - the fatal punch.

Rely on one's own Qi to suppress and block the opponent. If the user is strong enough, close contact can even affect the Qi in the opponent's body and make the enemy unconscious.

Although it is only effective against humans and has distance limitations, it is difficult to defend against when caught off guard.

Under the cold gaze of Elronmel, Millicent's body was instantly sucked towards him, and waiting on the road was the executioner's sword that had been adjusted and flashing with cold light.

Millicent's eyes widened and she struggled desperately.

However, she struggled too slowly, and she didn't have time to successfully break free before the executioner's sword pierced her.

Watching the sword blade approaching and walking towards death step by step without being able to resist, this is the most hopeless way to die.

Just as the sword was about to touch Millicent's body, a golden-red sword rushed out from the side and flew towards the executioner's sword.

The sword of Oher flew in accordance with Bai Shi's will, and collided in mid-air with the executioner's sword that was about to pierce Millicent.

The two swords separated as soon as they touched each other, and each deviated from its original trajectory.

Millicent also took the opportunity to break free from the restraint of the fatal fist and jumped back to create distance.

Ailonmeier suddenly discovered that the flying sword was actually the sword of Och that he had lost when he was captured.

Bai Shi walked slowly into the city lord's hall and shook his head at Millicent.

"Even if you want a prosthetic arm badly, you don't have to rush into a fight with an opponent you don't understand."

"Look, if you don't understand the moves, isn't that bad?"

Millicent stood up from the ground in shock, and heard Bai Shi's words:
"If you want to fight, then go ahead and get the prosthetic arm."

"But I'll only give you thirty seconds."

Seeing Bai Shi speaking, Millicent did not hesitate and immediately ran towards the area where the prosthetic hand was placed.

At this time, she was still frightened and had a personal experience of that unique "qi".

Although Ouch is a small country where isolated practitioners gather, their skills should not be underestimated.

After watching Millicent leave, Elronmel did not try to stop her.

Because at this moment he was looking at Bai Shi vigilantly, and he didn't dare to divert his gaze or distract his attention to chasing Millicent.

Because Elonmeier couldn't feel the 'qi' of Baizhi at all.

Just now, he only found Millicent's trace from beginning to end, and had no idea where Bai Shi came from.

Without the ability to observe Qi, Elonmeier couldn't even accurately judge the strength of Baizhi.

But just by looking at Bai Shi, Ailonmeier felt an invisible pressure.

Elonmeier had never encountered anything so abnormal.

Qi is the power within living things. The more powerful the creature, the more vigorous its Qi.

Even the smallest creature on the border, even a tree or a blade of grass, should have energy.

What's more, Bai Shi had just used the Ouhe Sword Dance to fight against him.

That is the most advanced and powerful air control technique in the country of Ouhe.

Even if someone has mastered Chi perfectly, it is impossible to hide Chi so completely in battle.

Bai Shi didn't care about Elonmeier's vigilance, nor did he care that he didn't attack.

Although Elronmel is a very strong opponent for Millicent and a good practical training target.

But in Bai Shi's eyes, Elonmeier is just a can that can be easily crushed.

Looking at Bai Shi's casual remarks, Elon Meier's heart tensed up and he slowly spoke:

"why?"

"Why can't I see your aura?"

Bai Shi raised his eyebrows, not really understanding what Elon Meier meant.

'Observing Qi' is the most basic skill in this unique system of controlling Qi and is one of the prerequisites for using Qi.

However, Bai Shi only mastered sword control through the fighting skills on the sword of Ouhe, and had never conducted any serious training in Qi itself.

However, Bai Shi simply thought about it and roughly understood that the other party must have some means of observing the qi to judge the combat effectiveness.

Bai Shi was also curious about this question, so he tilted his head and started thinking about it.

He didn't hide, so of course he couldn't be seen, but it couldn't be that he was too weak to have no 'qi'...

Bai Shi thought of a possibility, and suddenly it dawned on him. Then he smiled and pointed to the sky.

As he moved, Elonmeier looked upwards, along the broken ceiling of the corridor outside the hall, to a corner of the sky.

In an instant, Elonmeier's eyes widened, and the corners of his eyes were even cracked and blood oozed out.

In the sky, there was a golden aura like the dome that enveloped the entire Riyin City.

The dazzling golden air waves leaped, as if licking the flames of the golden tree, shining on the land.

Elonmeier even heard the praises of countless believers, and the invisible sun built by faith gathered. He could not see the aura of Bai Zhi because the aura symbolizing the power of life was too huge.

Even he himself had already been enveloped in that energy.

Elonmeier was trembling all over and breathing hard as if he was drowning.

This powerful warrior and cruel sinner was now as helpless as a newborn lamb, unable to even stand steadily.

Elonmeier couldn't accept what he saw.

His reaction was too fast, and by the time he realized what he had seen, it was too late.

At this moment, Elonmeier's worldview collapsed.

Unbelievable... Incomprehensible... Unacceptable...

Is this an illusion? When...?
Yes! It's definitely true!
Otherwise, how could it be possible...how could such a thing happen at the border!

If this is true, then what are the long years he has spent training himself to gain this pitiful amount of strength?
What does it mean to kill innocent people for the sake of greater power, with blood on your hands?
What on earth is this for! What on earth is this!
“Aaaaaaaaaa!”

Elonmeier roared, his bloodshot eyes turned red, and he called the executioner sword back into his hand.

After falling into rage and madness, he pounced on Bai Shi like a wild beast, slashing wildly.

However, the violent attacks were all blocked by Bai Shi, who controlled the sword with Qi and used the Ouhe sword.

Although Bai Shi had not practiced much about the use of "Qi", he had a principle, which was to firmly believe that great force could create miracles.

Bai Shi just blocked the attack and did nothing else to Elonmeier.

This was the experience treasure he intended to leave for Millicent, and he would practice it with her after she got the prosthetic hand.
-
Millicent rushed to the shelf by the wall, quickly scanning the numerous prosthetic arms.

Thanks to the observations on the corridor bridge, I already have an impression of the approximate size and placement of the prosthetic hand.

Soon, Millicent's eyes locked onto the prosthetic hand of roughly the same size.

Millicent picked up a shiny artificial hand from the pile and tried to compare it. It was indeed the right size.

However, when Millicent was about to put it on, she discovered that the joints of the prosthetic arm were damaged and she could not bend her arm.

Given Marlennia's combat intensity and frequency of use, this pure gold prosthetic arm is like a consumable.

Millicent looked at the other prosthetic arms again. As expected, they also had a lot of wear and tear. She wondered how many of them could be used normally.

In addition to prosthetic limbs that have been replaced due to normal growth and size mismatch, a large number of prosthetic limbs that were damaged in battle and consumed during normal training are also on display here.

It's all scrap garbage anyway, and since Maremare likes it, just focus on the large quantity and enough to fill you up.

Neither Dahlia nor Millicent had any idea of the details of the prosthetic hands delivered to Maremmare.

Millicent gritted her teeth and continued to search even faster.

I forgot about this possibility beforehand, what a mistake.

Luckily, there are a ridiculous number of prosthetic hands here, and there are other prosthetic hands of the same size.

Finally, a dimly lit prosthetic hand appeared in Millicent's eyes.

Unlike other prosthetic hands, this one is covered with scratches, as if it has accompanied Marlennia for many years.

Millicent looked at the prosthetic hand, as if she could feel the scene of Marennia using this prosthetic hand to practice the flowing sword technique when she was young.

Taking a deep breath, Millicent slashed the knife and cut open the right sleeve of her robe, revealing her mutilated shoulder.

When the prosthetic hand was put on, the golden mechanism was triggered, and the semi-circular shoulder armor contracted. The golden spikes inside pierced into the shoulder, completely fixing the prosthetic hand on Millicent.

Blood trickled down her armpits, but Millicent didn't care about the pain.

Because her right arm was moving according to her thoughts.

Millicent tried to move the prosthetic hand, feeling the precise design, as if her right arm was still on her body.

Since losing her right arm, Millicent has often experienced phantom limb pain.

Thanks to her imaginary phantom limb, Millicent could still remember the feeling of using her right arm.

With her left hand, she placed the hilt of the knife on the golden palm, and then she grasped it with her unfamiliar prosthetic hand.

His fingers clenched the handle of the knife, holding it tightly as if they were almost one with it, as if it was supposed to be this way.

After gripping the sword tightly, Millicent had no intention of letting go.

Standing up, Millicent turned to look at the frantic Elonmeier.

Now it's time to put an end to this.

Millicent finally exerted all the strength in this body and rushed towards Elonmeier at a rapid speed.

Seeing Millicent put on a prosthetic hand, Bai Shi smiled.

With a casual flick of his hand, Elronmayer's executioner's sword and himself were thrown away and turned towards Millicent.

Staring at Millicent with the prosthetic hand, Elronmel immediately changed his target and performed Ohr Sword Dance again.

So what if I have a prosthetic arm?

His energy hasn't changed, and this level of strength is not enough to kill him!

While charging, Millicent swung her prosthetic hand, and the blade flew upward from bottom to face the high-speed spiral executioner sword.

After getting the prosthetic hand, Millicent felt everything was back to her.

The dexterity and confidence that she was proud of, and the flowing sword technique that she had engraved in her heart.

Millicent's knife avoided the two blades and hit the blade of the executioner's sword accurately, pushing it away without any damage.

Millicent smiled as she watched the executioner's sword adjust its posture in confusion, and charged forward more confidently and more fiercely.

Although she lost her right arm, she gained much more along the way.

The experience she gained during this journey completely turned into her strength after she regained her right arm.

Elonmeier looked at Millicent in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party seemed like a different person at this moment.

Facing the blade swung by Millicent, Elronmel once again raised the Ironthorn Great Shield and blocked it in front of himself, ready to push the shield to counterattack at any time.

However, Millicent saw through his thoughts, stepped straight towards the shield, tapped her toes, and flew over Elonmere.

Like a flying bird, Millicent spun in the air with ease and cut deeply into Elonmeier's back.

Blood suddenly gushed out, and the pain only aroused Elonmeier's ferocity even more.

The executioner sword chased Millicent relentlessly, vowing to break her wings.

However, Millicent rushed directly to the wall and actually ran on it, running around the room constantly looking for opportunities to inflict injuries on Elonmeier.
-
Dahlia stood at the foot of Sunshade City, looking up at the city lord's room at the top.

Since the beginning, there has been a constant sound of fierce fighting.

I guess Miss Millicent successfully got the prosthetic hand and is fighting with Elonmeyer.

But... can we really win?

At this moment, Dahlia could only pray silently for Millicent.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the city lord's room, and red flames shot up into the sky, blowing off the roof.

All the energy in Elronmel's body burst out, and the illusory energy took shape, releasing circles of shock waves.

Millicent's slender body was immediately blown away by the air wave and forced into the air along with the roof.

The city lord's room is the highest place in Riyin City, so the great changes taking place here can be seen from all directions of the city.

The noble knights looked up at Millicent, who was in mid-air, covered in blood.

At this moment, Millicent leaned against the debris of the roof, took the opportunity to jump, and attacked Elonmel again from above.

In mid-air, Millicent curled up slightly and raised the blade high above her head.

Flying in the air, Millicent felt freer than ever before.

When will the bird in the cage fly high?
"Let me show you what the Flowing Water Sword Technique is..."

"What is this——Waterbirds Dancing!"

With each swing, Millicent's body was moved with extreme skill, suspended in the air for a short time.

Every swing came with unparalleled speed, and the more it was swung, the greater the power.

With every blow, a deep knife scar was added to Aaron Meier's already bloody body.

Finally, Millicent and Elronmayer disappeared behind the ruins.

The hearts of the Zunfu Knights were all lifted up, and Dahlia rushed directly to the ruins of the city lord's room.

A moment later, Millicent's figure appeared again at the highest point of Sunshade City.

Millicent was in a very miserable state, with blood running down her forehead and numerous wounds of varying sizes on her body.

Beautiful and heroic.

Millicent looked around the city, searching for the knights.

Although she couldn't see clearly because of the blood, she knew that the noble knights must be watching her at this moment.

Finally, after Millicent scanned all the noble knights in Sunshade City, she also found Dahlia.

Giving Dahlia a small smile, Millicent took a deep breath.

She slowly raised her prosthetic hand, which was covered with battle scars and had accompanied Marennia for a long time.

The golden prosthetic hand raised the long sword high in the air like a flag.

That pure gold prosthetic hand now holds the blade again.

The invincible wings are now dancing again.

Water birds dance over the city in the shade, showing their determination.

For the Zunfu Knights, the wings are still there.
